LONDON (Reuters) - Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck was taken off on a stretcher and given oxygen in his side's Europa League game against Sporting on Thursday after landing awkwardly from an attempted header, hours after being named in the England squad.

Welbeck jumped for a header in front of goal at the EmiratesStadium and rolled over in pain as soon as he landed, before medical staff came on to treat him.

He was given oxygen and carried off the pitch minutes later to a standing ovation from the home fans.
